To better understand the mechanism underlying water-soluble carbohydrates (WSC)-regulated silage fermentation, bacterial community and fermentation quality of stylo (Stylosanthes guianensis) ensiled without (sterile distilled water) (CK) or with 10 g/kg sucrose (S), glucose (G), molasses (M) were investigated. Each treatment was in three plastic bag silos for 30 days. The DM 301.0 (fresh matter...

this study conducted to investigate the effects of grazing in a short-term stocking system on the water-soluble carbohydrates (wsc) and nitrogen (n) reserves of permanent parts of bromus tomentellus, cephalaria kotschyi and ferula haussknekhtii in saral rangelands. a key area was selected with a permanent exclosure area and two temporary exclosure areas. root excavation was conducted at six to ...

The objectives of this research were to study the varieties and relationships of yield and quality traits under two harvesting management procedures concerning forage dry matter (DM yield) and 5 quality traits such as Dry Matter Digestibility (DMD%), Water Soluble Carbohydrates (WSC%), Crude Protein (CP%), Acid Detergent Fibre (ADF%) and total ash in tall wheatgrass (Agropyron elongatum). In th...

abstract various resistances to salinity are due to plants genetically variations, and selection on the basis of one factor will not be a suitable criterion in measurement of resistance to salinity, therefore in choosing resistant varieties, it is necessary to notice to a set of resistant indexes to salinity, creating changes in physiology, anatomy and morphology of plant species. this research...

this experiment was carried out to study the effects of corn and green gram intercropping on yield and some quality characteristics of forage at agricultural research station of gorgan during summer 2006 & 2007. the experimental design was a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with twelve treatments and four replications. a local green gram and corn single cross 550 were the crops used in t...

Annual bluegrass ( Poa annua ) is a turfgrass species prone to winterkill-induced damage such as from ice encasement stress. This research aimed determine whether different levels of soil volumetric water content (SWC) influence cold acclimation and recovery encasement. was exposed 8%, 12%, 20% SWC treatments during in growth chambers. After acclimation, plants were subjected by misting at –3 °...

The water soluble carbohydrates (WSC) glucose, fructose, and sucrose are well-known to the great public, but fructans represent another type of WSC that deserves more attention given their prebiotic and immunomodulatory properties in the food context. Although the occurrence of inulin-type fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) was proposed in the fruit of some banana accessions, little or no informatio...

Despite decades of intense research, it remains largely unsolved which nutritional factors underpin food selection by large herbivores in the wild. We measured nutritional composition of birch foliage (Betula pubescens) available to, and used by, moose (Alces alces) in natural settings in two neighboring regions with contrasting animal body mass. This readily available food source is a staple f...

ABSTRACT Grass regrowth can reduce root mass, delaying reestablishment and grazing periods by reducing the nutrient absorption from soil plants. This study aimed to determine optimal intervals for harvest nitrogen fertilization in Urochloa brizantha cv. BRS Piatã Megathyrsus maximus Quênia, as well investigate whether flexibility of time is related accumulation water-soluble carbohydrates (WSC)...
